MADAME MINERVA I just loved it when Robbin Willams would go off on his own and the other actors reactions to it.
Ironsos Robin was the best! That show was so funny. How they ever contained themselves when he went off the script is beyond me.
Here is the jingle for my other 70’s favorite show. (They may have been in re-runs)
Just sit right down till you hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip, that started from this tropic port, aboard this tiny ship.
MADAME MINERVA I have the first three years on DVD.I watch the other actors more than Robin just to watch for their reactions.
the mate was a mighty sailor man, the skipper brave and sure. Five passengers that sailed that day on a three hour tour. A three hour tour.
The weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed, if not for the courage of the fearless crew the Minnow would be lost, the Minnow would be lost.
Ironsos – You are really a fan then!
The only shows I have on DVD is LOST, 24, The Honeymooners and my all time favorite show…I have ALL the episodes of FRIENDS!!
Me too Ironsos, I loved Gilligan’s Island. I spent oh so many hours glued to my TV watching it. I knew every episode.
Singing the jingle was a pasttime for me. Memorizing it was my all time goal. :)
MADAME MINERVA Never much of a 24 or lost fan (I am the one lost when watching lost). Love the other two though.
my last post went PFTTT!,In it I said that the only one lost on lost was me.
Hi everyone!
MM, I am a huge fan of Friends too. My DS buys me a series boxset for Christmas each year.
Sorry you are ill…...but I am unsure what stomach flu is? Am I right in thinking it’s a vomiting virus? (If so, ick I hate that!
Sirius, it was good to see you, and YAY for the weight loss, well done!
The weather here was beautiful today, positively summery! I sat by the river in my lunch break, enjoying feeling the sun. I went back to work very reluctantly, feeling all relaxed and groggy, and very disinclined to be productive!
Hope everyone has had/is having a fab day!
hi Asti nice to have someone from across the pond back on since it seems I scared Wolfie off
has anyone heard from * The Grey Lady* lately?
HELLO ASTI Good to see you are having such nice weather.
Hey sirius sorry to hear about the leg. I can send elmo over to massage it if you like? He’s very excited about being a nurse, but MM is having a bad influence on him and I need to cut their play date short. My poor little elmo is so taken with all her clothes from Sluts R Us that he has turned into a cross dressing orangutan.
I saw oceans 11, but I never watched the others. I only watched the first one because it had George Clooney in it and I have a love hate relationship with him. He’s not the type of guy I would normally find attractive, he is too clean and has no tatoos, but for some reason I have a bit of a soft spot for him.
MM I love the Brady Bunch – but I dont think they ever really showed Gilligans Island over here (I recognise the name because it is often referred to in other programmes, but I dont think i have ever seen it)
Hey Ironsos and Mystic
Hi, boys!!
Nope, not a peep from The Gray Lady for ages, I don’t know if anyone is in email contact with her….??
The gorgeous weather won’t last long :(
Wolfie! (See *Sirius, you didn’t scare her off!)
It seems we share a similar taste in men, lol!
Hi sirius, I’m back, you didnt scare me off (It’d take more than your ugly mug to do that), I realised that I needed to do some washing and then found out I had run out of laundry conditioner so I ran all the way to the shops – only to find it had just closed :-( so now i am back home and my washing will have to wait till tommorow
Wolfie – I’ll have to pass but thanks for the offer – I don’t think a cross-dressing hairy orangutan running around the work place would be a good idea.
I’m just so gratefull for her offer to help, I’m all choked up
WOLFIE I find that my clothes are in such a condition that nothing helps!
sirius it just shows the extent of my concern about your welfare that I am willing to offer you the services of my Cross dressing orangutan – who else would make you such an offer?
Hey Ironsos I am having a great day, its been lovely and warm and I have been working from home so have spent most of the day with my laptop in the garden.
asti your lunch by the river sounds fab
WOLFIE Laptop in the garden. NO FAIR!, slightly cool and rainy here.
asti I have to agree with your taste in men – your DS is lovely. Do you think he might want a 2nd wife? I’m well behaved, quiet and cheap to feed ha ha ha (and if you believe that you’ll believe anything)
ironson we dont often have good weather here so I am making the most of it – it is supposed to be nice tommorow too, so fingers crossed I’ll spend even more time in the garden.
Sunny and warm with a light breeze. ;)
And I go home in thirty minutes! ;)
Sirius B, Think about it before you refuse Elmo’s assistance. He needs a male role model and he might make the trolls treat you better.
After all, you are better behaved than he is.
I know, Wolfie, Elmo does his best, but he does have some issues about sitting still and not swinging from the rafters and chandeliers. ;)
ah Wolfie it is true only you could be so thoughtful
Deanie you don’t know me that well do you? Well, I can’t swing from the chandeliers anymore, but better behaved? – I’m not so sure…....
Wolfie, my DS is quite delighted about your…...um…...proposal?
(And very chuffed by the compliment too!)
You are aware 2nd wife duties also include provision of childcare at any time dictated by the Number One wife (who obviously has priority in ALL things.)
Number One wife does not allow copies of the Aunties Handbook under any circumstances.
Number One wife also has an aversion to all kinds of housework. I assume you won’t mind doing the honours?
BTW, I don’t believe a word of your character credentials!
DS will very probably be in touch soon.
Ahhh, I’m back! Meeting went ok too, imagine that! Though of course I have more work to do but at least it isn’t more than I thought I would have to do before the meeting. ;)
MM hope you’re feeling better. Here’s some tea and chicken soup. I guess now would not be such a good time for an MMargarita. ;) You’d mentioned having a nurse’;s outfit from SlutsRUs. Someday you and elmo should work together! :P Unless that’s your outfit he’s wearing.. . . but somehow I don’t see the measurements matching between you two.
Lemon Awwww, you big softy! :) I knew the Bug-sized scourgify would work! :P And, uhhhhhhhh keep up with the “exercise”, it’s good for you!!?
wolfie that’s OK about forgetting me. I forget myself sometimes. But yes, I have been practicing my sleathiness, so perhaps I was just that slinky.
Sirius great to see you, and yay for a few troll less days! :) But alas, I am most definitely not Da Beetle. I was not near a computer when s/he first surfaced on game night. I will let Da Beetle bide his/her time to reveal him/herself to you all. Can’t risk getting my most excellent investigative reporter mad!
Ironsos LOL about Frank. I am quite OK with you reposting him now that I know the truth. ;) It’ll be nice to see at least someone being so utterly content. I had just never seen a dog lie like that, but I have seen people lie like that. You could say they were content, though in a more existential way.
CoolG feel free to post Harley Dog at his most content. I can imagine the snoring sound effect. ;)
Wouldn’t it be cool if we had audible avatars? Though that would be quite a cacophony. elmo making monkey sounds, Birdy panting, Herbert squawking (sorry Herbert I don’t know what to call ostrich sounds!), Bug buzzing (though ladybugs don’t really buzz), Kitty mewing, forgetmenot’s and Graymayne’s owls hooting, Bunny nibbling, Munchies making whatever sound aye-ayes make, Flame roaring, and Phoenix singing . . . though perhaps he could drown out the rest!!!
OK I know I am missing stuff in catchup but I’ll post this first. ;)
Sirius B, I am reasonably sure that you keep your nappie on in public, unless “public” is a nude beach. ;)
Well, I’m off home. ;0
Bbl. ;)
First of all asti I thought Yeaaahy, my mum will be so proud I’m finally getting married and I was so excited about the large diamond engagement ring that your DS was sure to buy me. Then I saw the list of demands from number one wife and I have decided to decline the offer :-) ha ha ha ha number one wife reminds me of ‘The King and I’.
Hey deanie – can you imagine how bad elmo’s behaviour would be if sirius was his role model
and…..... huff is back
Guess I didn’t miss too much.
Though MM’s song choices our first karaoke night are beginning to make sense. . .!!! :D
As for my fave TV shows: Nova (yes yes I’m a geek!!!!) when I was growing up, and still whenever I stumble on it. . . but more recently. . . X-Files, the Simpsons, Seinfeld, Friends, Ally McBeal, Scrubs, CSI (original), Law and Order (orginal), Star Trek (all versions), and from this season, Chuck!!!! And now Dancing with the Stars though that’s not the same category.
wolfie I agree with biding your time. I would be cautious about getting together with a Patriots’ fan. Sorry asti and DS, couldn’t resist, but I’ll stop now. I’m puzzled by your “and…....... huff is back”. Did I do something? Or have you legilimens’d me and saw that I am about to? :P
Lets see THE BRADY BUNCH!!!!!!!!!!!!! 100 POINT FOR HUFFLEPUFF!!!!! pLEASE MM
Deanie, giggle about the nappy!
Wolfie, my DS is heartbroken. He was so busy making plans…..........
I suppose this means that I get to keep the MASSIVELY ENORMOUS AND HUGELY EXPENSIVE diamond ring he just bought for you!
(Have you seen GemsTV btw, talking of jewels with little taste? Check it out, you might see yor (nearly) engagement ring!)
Oh poo, I just realised, that means I still have to do my own housework….....please won’t you reconsider!
Oh Madame Minerva, THE BRADY BUNCH!!!!!!! 100 POINTS FOR HUFFLEPUFF!!!!!!!
ZIMBA, HAS MADE A REQUEST TO GO BACK AND VISIT THE JUNGLE FOR A LITTLE WHILE, I CAN NOT IGNORE HIS REQUEST, AS HE HAS BEEN SO GOOD IN THE CASTLE NOT TO EAT ANY OF OUR LITTLE CASTLE DWELLER FRIENDS!!!!!!
Hi huff your too far away for me to legilimens (is that a word – should it be legilimise???) ha ha ha no I was commenting on the fact that you were back after being gone for most of the afternoon (thats my afternoon, probably not yours – I assume its much earlier in the US).
I’ve just realised its 10pm over here, i dont know where the time has gone. Its nearly time for bed.
YEAH Mistic Willow!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D
MM I think that will put Hufflepuff into second place!! :D Maybe????? :D :D :D
And Zimba gets another 50 pts for good behavior, which definitely puts us in 2nd!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D
Mystic I have cleared my chache but still cant see your Zimba avatar. i can see everyone elses, the same thing happened with harriets avatar a couple of weeks ago.
Ahh wolfie a true legilimenser can legilimise over any distance! For example you are thinking of brushing your teeth right now! See, I’m so good.
But you have instead decided to look for your jammies.
Ahhhhh, my Inner Eye is blinded! Those jammies have Hoff’s face on them!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
But I’m glad you didn’t read my mind. Whew! I was gone for most of my afternoon. It’s just past 5pm now. :)
Of course if you had read my mind all you would have seen is me wondering what elmo, Herbert, and MM are up to.
huff I’m glad that i am not the only person that has random thoughts about leaky avatars while I’m in meetings.
and….... whats wrong with my hoff jammies, he looks beautiful on them, i think you are just jealous – but dont worry its christmas in only 8 months time and if you are a good girl maybe father christmas will bring you your very own pair of Hoff PJs.
I seem to have driven everyone away. ;( Just kidding, I know it’s bed/going home/dinner time for everyone. So I will start mulling dinner. :)
back for a short return visit;Birdys friend Frank,the quiet one.
Ahhh, wolfie you rescued me from four straight! :)
I’m glad you think about the avatars too, wolfie! I was trying so hard not to smile! Since we were talking serious topics, after all.
Ummmm, there’s nothing wrong with your Hoff jammies. rolls eyes
And if Father Christmas knows what’s good for him. . . just kidding Father Christmas! I’ll be good. I would love a pair of Hoff jammies!! Kidding!!!!!!!!!! Though I can always transform his face into, say, Dan’s. :)
I was just reading that London’s mayor has banned alcohol on the Tube without asking anyone. LOL! I hope Rhiannon took full advantage of it!
